3 Definitions and Notations (Ω, F, P) = (R, B(R), µ) probability space ξ(x) = x, x R F 0 := {, R} F 1 := F ξ = B(R) F = (F t ) t=0,1 Then (R, B(R), F, µ) is a filtered probability space. Price Process The price process is defined by X = (X t ) t=0,1 with X 0 = ξ 0 and X 1 = ξ. By definition X should be F-adapted and hence ξ 0 R.
4 Definitions and Notations The expectation of the random variable η under measure ν is denoted by E ν η := η(x)ν(dx). Let us define the set of all random variables on (R, B(R), ν) by R L 0 (ν) = {η : η is finite}. Similar notation is used for the set of all integrable random variables on (R, B(R), ν): L 1 (ν) = {η : E ν η < }. Finally, let us introduce the linear space generated by the change of price and by the random variables that are equal to 0 µ-a.s.: K = {η : η = k(ξ ξ 0 ) µ-a.s. for some k R}.
5 Definitions and Notations Definition A probability measure ν on (R, B(R)) is called a martingale measure, if E ν ξ = ξ 0. The set of all absolutely continuous martingale measures is denoted by M = {ν is a martingale measure, ν µ}. The set of all equivalent martingale measures is denoted by M e = {ν is a martingale measure, ν µ}. Assume µ({ξ ξ 0 }) > 0. Then there exists at least one equivalent martingale measure if and only if µ({ξ ξ 0 > 0}) > 0 and µ({ξ ξ 0 < 0}) > 0.
6 I (M, µ) = inf I (ν, µ). ν M Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure Definition Let ν be a probability measure on (R, B(R)). The relative entropy I (ν, µ) of ν with respect to µ is defined by [ ] dν dν E I (ν, µ) = µ log if ν µ. dµ dµ + otherwise. Definition A probability measure ν 0 M will be called the minimal entropy martingale measure (MEM) if it satisfies [ ] dν I (ν 0, µ) = min I (ν, µ) = min E dν µ log. ν M ν M dµ dµ The distance between µ and M is defined by
7 Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure The class of all absolutely continuous with respect to µ martingale measures with finite relative entropy is denoted by M 0 = {ν M : I (ν, µ) < + }. Let us define the class of all integrable random variables with respect to all absolutely continuous (with respect to µ) martingale measures with finite entropy L = ν M 0 L 1 (ν), and the set of random variables with non-positive expectation under every absolutely continuous (with respect to µ) martingale measures with finite entropy C 0 = { f L : E ν f 0, ν M 0}. If I (M, µ) < + and if ξ is bounded then there exists a unique MEM.
8 Characterisation of MEM Assume that I (M e, µ) < +. A probability ν 0 is the MEM if and only if (i) ν 0 M; (ii) dν 0 dµ = c exp( f 0) µ-a.s., where f 0 L 1 (ν 0 ), E ν0 f 0 = 0 and c > 0; (iii) f 0 C 0.
9 The Esscher Martingale Measure Definition Given a probability space (Ω, F, µ), assume ξ is a r.v. and k R such that E exp[k(ξ ξ 0 ] < +. Then ζ defined by is called an Esscher density. ζ := exp[k(ξ ξ 0)] E exp[k(ξ ξ 0 )] The random variable ζ is positive µ-a.s., integrable and normalized (Eζ = 1), hence ν defined by ζ = dµ dν is a probability measure, ν µ. This probability measure ν is called an Esscher measure. If Eζξ = E ν ξ = ξ 0, then ν is a martingale measure for ξ and is called an Esscher martingale measure.
10 Alternative Characterisation Let µ be an arbitrary probability measure on R, B(R), ξ is the random variable defined by ξ(x) = x, x R, and ξ 0 R. A probability measure ν 0 on R, B(R) is the MEM if and only if ν 0 is the Esscher martingale measure. Corollary Assume I (M e, µ) < +. Then the following conditions are equivalent: (a) There exists the MEM. (b) There exists the (unique) Esscher martingale measure. (c) There exists k R such that R (x ξ 0) exp[k(x ξ 0 )]µ(dx) = 0.
11 More Detailed Analysis The set of all c such that ξ exp(cξ) is finite, is denoted by E := {c R : E ξ exp(cξ) < + }. If there exists the MEM, then set E is not empty. The set E could have 4 different structures: (a, b), (a, b], [a, b), [a, b], where a b +. If E = (a, b) there always exists the MEM.
12 Examples Example 1. Let ξ be a Cauchy distributed symmetric random variable: µ(dx) = 1 π(1 + x 2 ) dx In this case there does not exist the MEM. Example 2. Let ξ is shifted one-side Cauchy distributed random variable. µ(dx) = 1 {x [ a,+ )} 2 π(1 + (x + a) 2 ) dx where a > 0. In this case there exists the MEM.
13 Definitions and Notations (Ω, F, P) probability space X t is compound Poisson process with drift N t X t = µt + ξ i, X 0 = 0 where N is Poisson with λ = ν(r), (ξ i ) iid, independent of N F = F X filtration generated by process X (R, B(R), F, µ) is filtered probability space Price process Let us define the price process S t = exp(x t ) for t [0, T ]. i=1
14 Stochastic Exponential Let Y be a real-valued semi-martingale and consider the stochastic differential equation dz = Z dy, Z 0 = 1. This equation has a unique (up to indistinguishability) cádlág adapted solution, called the stochastic exponential of Y, which is a semi-martingale and is denoted by E (Y ). Explicitly, E (Y ) t = exp(y t 1 2 Y c t ) s t(1 + Y s ) exp( Y s ). The mapping Y E (Y ) can be inverted. The following theorem shows this fact.
15 Stochastic Logarithm Let Z be a semimartingale such that Z, Z are strictly positive. Then there exists an up to indistinguishability unique semimartingale Y with Y 0 = 0 and Z = Z 0 E (Y ). It is given by Y t = t 0 1 Z u dz u, t 0. The process Y from the previous theorem is called the stochastic logarithm of Z and is written L (Z) := Y.
16 Stochastic Logarithm Stochastic logarithm of S is equal L (S) t = = t 0 N t i=1 [exp( X u ) 1]dN u + µt [exp(ξ i ) 1] + µt =: L t, where is Lévy process with drift µ and Lévy measure ν L = ν F 1, F (x) = e x 1 for x R.
17 Definitions and Notations Let us define the following sets of martingale measures: M a := {Q : (S, F) is a Q-local martingle, Q P on F T }, M e := {Q M a : Q P on bf T }, M f := {Q M a : I (Q, P) < + }, M l := {Q M a : (L, F) is a Q-Lévy process, }. Assumption: M l M f M e
18 Some facts about MEM Results of Esche and Schweizer(2005): (1) inf Q Ma I (Q, P) = inf Q Ml M f M e I (Q, P). (2) If the MEM Q exists (in M a ) then Q M l ( (L, F) is a Q -Lévy process). (3) If the MEM Q in M l exists. Then Q l = Q and Q P.
19 Some facts The process Y is a local martingale if and only if E (Y ) is a local martingale. Assume that Q P on F T and (L, F) is a Q-Lévy process. Then X (resp., L) is compound Poisson with drift µ and Lévy measure ν Q ν (resp., ν L Q = ν Q F 1 ).
20 Density Let (Y, F) be a Lévy process. Then (Y, F) is a local martingale if and only if (Y, F) is a martingale. If (L, F) is compound Poisson w.r.t. Q and Q P on F T. Then ν L Q νl and dq dp (F T ) = exp T (ν L (R) νq(r)) L + 0<u T log ρ( L u ), where ρ := dνl Q dν L.
21 Entropy Let us assume that there exists a martingale measure Q such that it preserves the Lévy property and has finite entropy: Q M e M f. Then the relative entropy I (Q, P) has the form [ ( )] I (Q, P) = T λ λ Q + λ Q log λq ν L λ + λq I Q λ Q, νl, λ where λ = ν L (R) and λ Q = ν L Q (R). I (Q, P) < + if and only if I ( ν L ) Q, νl λ Q λ < +.
22 Form of Density (L, F) is a Q-martingale if and only if E Q [exp(ξ 1 )] = µ λ + 1. If there is no drift µ = 0, the martingale condition can be simplified. The optimization ( problem splits into 2 independent problems: minimization of ν L ) Q I, νl λ Q λ and minimization of I (Q, P) with respect to λ Q. Hence, the optimal solution is [ ( )] ν L λ Q = λ exp I Q νl,, λq λ where νl Q λ Q is a solution of one-dimensional problem.
23 Form of Density And now we can calculate the density: dq dp (F T ) = exp(kl T ) E exp(kl T ) where k is the Esscher coefficient for one-dimensional distribution.
